Company Registration in Kazakhstan: Step-by-Step Guide
Kazakhstan attracts entrepreneurs due to its favorable tax regime, simplified registration procedures and stable economic environment. Registering a company in Kazakhstan takes from several days to several weeks, depending on the chosen form of business.
Choosing a legal form
The most popular forms of doing business in Kazakhstan are:
- Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is the most common option, similar to LLC in other countries.
- Joint Stock Company (JSC) is suitable for large companies attracting investment.
- Individual Entrepreneur (IE) - for running a small business without forming a legal entity.
To register a company, you must have a legal address in Kazakhstan. This can be rented premises or the address of a business incubator.
Preparing documents
Depending on the type of business, you will need to provide:
- Company Charter.
- Decision on the establishment of a legal entity.
- Details of the director and founders.
- Company location address.
- Copies of the founders' passports (for non-residents - a notarized translation).
Registration with government agencies
Registration is carried out through the State Corporation "Government for Citizens" or through the electronic portal egov.kz. For an LLP with one founder, registration can be done online without the need to visit the authorities. After successful registration, the company receives a Business Identification Number (BIN), which is necessary for conducting business. Next, a corporate bank account is opened in a Kazakhstani bank.
Depending on the company's activities, it is necessary to choose a taxation system: a general regime, a simplified regime or a fixed income tax.
Some types of activities (financial services, pharmaceuticals, construction) require a special license.
